Sustainability Becomes Core Track for Christmas Textiles; Exports of GRS‑Certified Products Surge

Consumer attitudes in European and American markets are shifting. Consumers are moving away from disposable holiday ornaments, leading to sustained growing demand for reusable fabric‑based festive decorations. Products made from recycled fabrics, recycled polyester and recyclable fabric ornaments are gaining rapid popularity.

Industry monitoring data shows that export volumes of GRS‑certified Christmas textile goods (tree skirts, Christmas stockings, tablecloths and bunting) rose by 18.4% year‑on‑year, with their share of total exports increasing to 29%.

EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and traceability regulations in Europe and the United States have raised export thresholds. Low‑price fabric orders without environmental certifications are shrinking. Small‑ and medium‑sized manufacturers are accelerating fabric upgrades; printed textiles made from recycled flannel and recycled polyester have become key selections for foreign trade.

According to overseas home‑living media reports, hand‑quilted fabric hangings, fabric wreaths and fabric Christmas tree ornaments have become popular choices for domestic festive soft furnishings, thanks to their premium texture and multi‑year reusability.
